The remainder of this year is expected to be used for the project's development, as the co-writers of half of Moon Knight's episodes were tapped to write. The original plan was for Nova to crash through the Sanctum Sanctorum and warn Doctor Strange of the impending arrival of Thanos, but that spot went to Mark Ruffalo. Rider's Nova has factored into major comic book events, including Annihilation and Secret Invasion, as well as his own individual runs. The flight-based hero of the intergalactic police force has not been seen since the movie "Guardians of the GALAXY". The core of Nova's powers are his flight and enhanced strength, but he also has the ability to absorb energy and release it in beams.
Nova and Richard Rider have been popular characters on the page for a long time.
Nova, an enhanced member of the Nova Corps, is the most popular unused character. Nova's status has largely been unknown despite rumors of a production start date and confirmation of his arrival by Kevin Feige.
The director of the movie said he has probably read 75% of the character's comics.
The production of Nova was rumored to start "sometime in 2023."
Nova is a mantle assumed by many characters, most notably Richard Rider and Sam Alexander. There will be at least one more individual outing for Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt in the next two films. There are plenty of players that remain on the concept boards, but Carol Danvers is holding down the front for now. There is no word on whether Nova will be a theatrical film or a streaming series for Disney+. Two veteran franchises have captained the branch of the Cinematic Universe for over a decade. With their futures uncertain, Marvel Studios needs new blood on the space side.
The writer of Moon Knight is working on a Nova project.
Progress on Richard Rider's debut is moving in a big way. Ask any fan of the comic book and they will say this is a long time coming. A Nova project was rumored to be in the works in May 2020.
The creators of Marvel Studios have a long-time-coming vibe as well.
Nova is one of 24 projects that are unconfirmed. Nova was referred to by Kevin Feige as someone who would enter the MCU with immediate potential.
